My life changed today
My life changed today. I'm in a new town, with a new school, and what I thought would be 3 more years of school turn out to be 2 thanks to some fancy course arrangement. I feel like helping people. For the first time in my life I want to do good, simply for the pleasure of it. And for the fist time in years I am truly optimistic.

That's awesome man, hopefully you keep feeling this way! If you manage to keep this feeling up, I'll be asking for help with my charity work soon ;)
Doing charity feels awesome, it is the most fulfilling thing I think anyone can do, the problem is soceity makes it hard for anyone to do it. I'm hoping to change that xD

Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Interesting. I think that just being aware that our behavior is not always justified and taking on some personal responsibility can go a long way."
Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Maybe I take empathy and attempting to understand such actions by people to the extreme, but I think it is important to understand the causes of such behavior.
